10 Superstars Who Could Be WWE's Next Top Heels
1. Roman Reigns
Who else was it going to be?
While a Roman Reigns heel turn seems about as unlikely as a John Cena heel turn at this point, WWE has been planting more and more seeds to the contrary. If you talk down to HBK by saying “The Undertaker retired you, and I’m going to retire him”, you’re a heel. If you eliminate The Undertaker from the Royal Rumble in Texas, you’re a heel. If you’re being booed by the majority of fans in arenas all around the world, whether you like it or not, you’re probably a heel.
Roman already has positively nuclear heat as a babyface, heat that’s only going to increase as he heads towards a match with The Undertaker – one of the most consistently popular figures in the history of professional wrestling – at WrestleMania 33. Whether you love Reigns or hate him, something about his game isn’t working. He’s become a great performer, and his skills on the microphone have improved tenfold since this time last year, but his arrogant and standoffish ‘Big Dog’ character earns him a lot more ire than sympathy, ire that could be used to fuel one of the most crucial heel turns of the decade.
